Re: Hard brakelines '59

I'd have to agree with Orrie. I've always tried to size my brake lines to match the parts I use.

Meaning that If I am using 54 Chevy car front brakes, a 69 Chevy pickup master cylinder and a mid 70's Chevy Nova rear axle I'd use brake lines that matched the front and rear brakes respectively. On my truck with that setup I used 3/16 all around and it worked well.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
